How do you know that’s what they’re doing? I’ll often use my phone in between sets for set counting or seeing what’s next in my plan. What else am I going to do between sets?
I like to do dance moves personally … stuff you’d find on dance dance revolution … lots of spins and twirls …

Go up to random people in the gym and give them a big fat hug.

Scrolling Tnation is my go to set procrastination activity
I actually meant that as a joke but I will chat with my mates, talk to people or use my phone between sets. I don’t see a reason not to do so. I’ve trained in solitude for years and now the gym is a huge part of my social life.

My college roommates are messy motherfuckers. It’s starting to get under my skin now. Leaving so much fucking trash on the dining table and never washing their dishes. I am also sick of being the one who takes out the fucking garbage. If it wasn’t for me we would be fucked when the RA does room checks. I am not even even the tidiest person yet I know when the dishes have to be washed and when the trash needs to go. That shit can attract fucking roaches. I also don’t see anyone else sweeping this goddamn apartment on the weekend.
It’s not even the mess that really gets to me because I know I can just fucking clean up everything for the sake of me wanting to keep my housing if need be. Well I have been doing that and I’m just tired of it. What gets to me is that If I want them to cleanup, I have to fucking tell them even though they’re fucking grown MEN (19-20 yrs old).
I usually do something akin to this as well…
I start by asking “how many sets you got left?”
if they say anything other than “1” or “this is my last one”
I respond with “Mind if I work in? I need to warm up”
They usually feel discouraged and decide to move elsewhere if you start ‘warming up’ with their working weight.
Petty? Yes. Effective? Usually.

They might be men from a biological perspective
But grown up? Na
They’re college kids, many are perpetually demotivated through the means of being consistently hung over.
Can you find new room mates? If they’re this disgusting (which many are) then perhaps this living arrangement you find yourself in isn’t ideal.
I wasn’t the neatest… But I’d never leave food or dishes out for days. I also never yacked in the sink, backing it up in the process (shared sink, shared kitchen)… But someone else did… I’m not joking…
Good god did college put me off drinking…
I won’t find new roommates I’ll just try and work with them. Waiting for them to magically start cleaning up isn’t going to do anything so I’ll just start asking them to cleanup. I got one of them to take the trash out on Friday. But, like I said it’s a little sad that I have to do this, perhaps my expectations were too high.
Yep. This.

I don’t miss the days of having an accessible calendar. I used to block of large chunks of time because I had stuff to do and zero interest in meeting with anyone and talking about it.
Keep us posted as to when you finally sink her battleship

My car won’t start and won’t jump. I am hoping it’s just a completely shot battery.
Happened to my wife last week … we clearly knew it was the battery when we saw the corrosion on the leads
Yeah, I have some weird greenish blue stuff around the negative terminal, so I am thinking that’s the case.
Update: was the battery indeed. Got a new one from Wally-World and started right up.

That is for sure battery acid + lead corrosion. It interferes with the electrical connection (among other things)
Glad you got your new battery though!
My car died in the middle of the road twice today. I’m waiting in a parking lot right now for this piece of junk to be towed. I spent 3 hours in the same town.
